Description
Re-issued by Quattro Books in a new quadrilingual edition (English, French, Greek, Italian), the poetry of Nikos Kachtitsis is an essential read for those wishing to discover one of the most formidable and enigmatic voices in twentieth-century Greek and Canadian letters.
About the author
Nikos Kachtitsis was born in 1926 in Greece and died in 1970. He spent a few years in Cameroon, Africa, eventually moved to Montréal, Canada, and returned to Greece the same year he died. He published articles in Greek newspapers and contributed to Greek literary journals. Like many unappreciated authors in their own times, Kachtitsis has achieved a modicum of fame posthumously. His works echo those of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Stendhal, Joseph Conrad, and Franz Kafka, to name but a few. None of his writing in Greek has been published in English thus far.
